Chickens to Bring Questions to Court

Rearing and feeding of chickens is the point of controversy in an action of contract brought against Dr. Daniel H. Hiebert by Frank E. Rich, both of Provincetown, in which the latter seeks settlement of compensation which he says is due him for the care of chickens owned by Dr. Hiebert.

Originally the case was entered in District Court here but was removed for trial by jury to the Superior Court by the defendant.

Mr. Rich claims that Dr. Hiebert placed a number of chickens in his care on June 10 with the understanding that he was to have half of them in payment for his services in caring for the poultry. He states, however, that he was discharged without proper cause on November 14 and has not received the share which he says was specified. He is seeking a settlement of $150 and costs. Failing to gain such a settlement he will ask pay for his services at a dollar a day, which he contends will amount to $156.

In his answer Dr. Hiebert denies the allegations and states that he owes Mr. Rich nothing.
------------------------------------------
In court, in 1944, Rich's housekeeper assaulted Dr Hiebert, and was given a year in jail.
